The Bigheads' sex life is completely bonkers. Even as a kid I understood that they were supposed to be horny, but I rewatched the series a few years back when they released a complete DVD set for dirt cheap and was astonished at the show. It still holds up pretty well, but damn. You can get away with a lot just by…

The Monarch also has a pre-canned kill where it steals the battery from the other Titan, which is crazy broken. No other Titan can do that.

The gay porn subreddits are pretty great, too.

It's just baffling to me. The chief change from a standard RTS is that it's more difficult to rush than would be normally. The chief change from Dawn of War II, specifically, is that base defenses are a little better (but also require more defense from players to stave off attacks). There are certainly things that…

I really couldn't give two shits about multiplayer chatting on the Switch; the only platform I need voice chat for is PS4. I'm curious how this library thing works. But $20 a year to play Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Arms online, plus a rotating library of games is honestly a better deal overall for me than PS+.

Beating Final Fantasy VIII—a game I don't even like—with Selphie—the character from that game I hated the most—using her The End limit break despite having nothing equipped and every other character dead.

SMTIV had adjustable difficulty, too, but you had to die twice to change it (and we're not even going to talk about its death system) and there were a lot of niggling problems, like how it would offer up quests early on that were far beyond the strength of an early-game party, regardless of difficulty level (the…

Yeah, their games are pretty amazing (at least in terms of mechanics and aesthetics; there's something about their writing—or at least voice acting direction—that doesn't work nearly as well).

Arkane is going to get shuttered soon, isn't it? They make all these cool, AAA revivals of great but forsaken genres, but they just don't sell.

Prey is less Dishonored in space and more System Shock in space (where System Shock has always been, admittedly). It doesn't have the mission-based gameplay of Dishonored and isn't nearly as focused on one element—stealth, in Dishonored's case—so much as on giving you a number of tools to overcome challenges.

I've been neglecting Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse the past few days, so I'd like to get back into the swing of things with it. SMTIV was pretty good, and while Apocalypse's weird story struggles to justify itself in its predecessor's shadow, the gameplay is objectively better in a number of important ways and an…

This would be a lot more enticing if it wasn't an adaptation of a mystery that I first read in…eighth grade? An old-fashioned mystery where the solution wasn't widely known and in fact famous would be nice.

Yes, although he was more overtly coming from a place of deep insecurity and general incompetence rather than being just an asshole.

Dammik is one of those ex-military types who thinks he knows better than everyone else by dint of his military experience (which he views as universally relevant and not a very narrow perspective) and has automatic contempt for people with a differing POV. He seems like a pretty believable character to me and, yes,…

You know who has two thumbs and has always correctly pronounced "Reese's?"

Yeah, that's my question. There are up to three different characters with that mantle.

I haven't started it yet, but I decided to take James Cameron at his word and give Battle Angel Alita a shot. Will it impress me or make me wonder just what the hell fuels Cameron's disparate interests?

Kirby standing around baffled as the insect monster aristocracy indulges in some drama is just delightful.

Yeah, the lack of characters and narrative is what really hurts BotW, and I think in the future we'll look back on it with less fondness because of it. Nintendo has made a great game, but they've allowed a lot of charm and personality to leak from it.

I know they have tweaked it from W3 to be a more robust game that can function as an ongoing concern.
